Lakme Pure Rouge Blusher

I would love to blush, but that does not happen to me easily. Yes, the truth is I don't blush, never! But I so love blushing cheeks!! So, crazy as I tend to be, I had been through a blush purchasing phase. Many of you buy blushes a lot. But not me. I tend to get overboard when it comes to lipcolors esp lipsticks.
Ok, In that blushing phase, I blushingly say I had bought this lakme Pure Rouge Blush. I know the last sentence was lame!!

Anyway

I had heard so much about Lakme Pure Rouge Blushes. When these were launched I already had two blushes, so I did not but this. Stupid me! How do I know that within five or six months, the prices would be hiked up from 275 INR only to 425 INR!! When I pulled out 300 bucks from my wallet the SA asked another 100 and I was so surprised!! Hmph! Life is so full of surprises!!

Lakme Pure Rouge Blusher; Peach Affair

The color is actually brighter and looks lighter in real life

What the company claims:

My experience

I wanted the much raved about Peach affair, which looks more reddish, copperish and has very finely milled golden shimmers. While the shimmers are not chunky, those are not invisible as well.. 6 grams is a good quantity for a blush and I think my 3 years old niece would be able to use it when she is 16.

Now, the best thing about the blush is the quality. It is very very pigmented. even a single generous swipe might make you look like a clown. So, what I do is, simply touch or gently dip my brush on the blush, then kind of pat it on both my cheeks. After that I start blending it. In fact it is so pigmented, that I kind of stay away. Blame it on my poor makeup skills.

To sum my my Likes:
1) Good quantity fir the price paid.
2) Intensely pigmented like high end blushes (which I have not used).
3)The container is quite sturdy.
4) Staying power is good.
5) A little would go a long long way.

Dislikes:
1) Only a few shades and almost all from the same family of reds and browns. I wish they came up with more colors.
2) The brush is a bit stiff and is not good for blending.

@ Chetana: Exactly! That's what scares me about the blush!!@ rids: Yes. Worth it!! Totally!!@ Anuradha: I agree. It's so stiff!! I'm thinking if I can use it to put on face packs.@ Manya: They would. but I feel pinks and fuschias brighten up our face better@ Ansh: Hhihihi. Finsih up a few first I suggest LOL@beautydiva: Thanks girl. I would surely try it that way. Seems like a good idea

Hmmm.. I checked these out a few times at store but never bought these,though the texture is finely milled, I felt such deep toned blush just aged my skin rather than make it fresh & lively.Plus of late Lakme pricing is totally going out of sync...one can find so many better alternatives at this price...

The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture-protect Emulsion with SPF 30 PA +++ review
I do not recall if I had shown you this baby from The Body Shop. Most of you know how much I love Body Shop's Vitamin E Range. In fact, so far, if I splurge, I wouldn't give it a second thought before I put all of my money on it. Naturally, when the Moisture Protect Emulsion with SPF 30 PA +++ was added to the Vitamin E Line, I was overjoyed because well, it's my much loved range!

Price: 50 ml for Rs 1495 ( 1500 approx)

Why I was especially looking forward?
I was looking forward more because sometimes, my skin tends to turn extremely dry and I do not want to layer on products. These days, I am more into products which would be multi-taskers.

Elovera Cream review, photo
I have a strange skin type. It's super oily in summer and as the weather becomes a bit dry, it turns very stretchy and dull and DRY!!! Lately I noticed even The Body Shop Vitamin E Cream was failing to provide the moisture I need at times. So, I ultimately went over to my druggist and got hold of this cream which I had used a very long time ago.

What's this? It's nothing fancy and definitely not your regular cosmetic product which you can get in a drugstore. Even though it's not a medicine per se, you get it mostly at the chemists' shop.
